This paper presents the various design schemes of Controlled-Permanent Magn
et(PM) Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM). The motor performance on various des
ign schemes, such as slot shapes, magnetizing patterns of PBI and skewing,
have been investigated in detail by using FEM and experiment. From this stu
dy, it is known that in various design schemes, skewing is most efficient t
o this system in all aspects.
